Maybe a silly question but why enforce region lock at the developers/publisher level? Wouldn't allowing the game to run on more machines result in more sales?

Or would the import market and currency exchange rate too much of a hazard?
- porkbeer 3y agoDifferent regions had different pricing. This prevents a game being resold in another market. It also tends to cut down on counterfieting.
